I've never owned geese before and have 11 new little ones, 5 American buffs and 6 white Embdens, which arrived yesterday. They're eating and drinking voraciously. I'm brooding them at home right now in a large plastic bin, but it already seems too crowded! I was browsing on here and was shocked to see pictures of five week old goslings; they look huge! And feathered!
Does anyone have a timetable suggestion for how quickly they grow? I was hoping to keep them at home for 2 weeks before taking them to live at the farm where I work, where they'll live with chickens.
Thanks in advance! Oh, and here's a picture of my setup. Note that the little mason jar waterer has already been replaced with a gallon waterer because gosh howdy they drink fast...!
